What am I paying for? Not impressed.

I've been on 'PlusNet Business Premier up to 8Mb" for many years now, paying £35 a month (£42 inc VAT).
Apart from the static IP, I fail to see what I'm getting over and above a domestic account.
Also, looking at the website this evening I see that "Unlimited Business Broadband" now starts at £20 a month (£24 inc vat) - far less than I'm currently paying.
I understood that having a Business account gave some sort of guarantee of faster response to, and resolution of faults. This is clearly not the case - I've had support tickets open since last Thursday regarding massive amounts of packet loss on my exchange (it's also affecting a neighbour on the same exchange) and have got absolutely nowhere. During the afternoon and evenings I'm having to route voip calls over a 3G router to get an acceptable connection quality.
So, it seems I'm paying well over the odds for a service on par with the cheapest of the cheap.
What do I get for paying for a PlusNet Business account?

Just to add insult to injury - I'm paying £42 a month; the "new" Unlimited Business Tariff including Enhanced Care works out at £28.50 (£34.20 inc)
I've been paying well over that figure of £34.20 for ages - I expect this fault to be treated as an Enhanced Care fault. I do not want someone from PlusNet telling me I should have changed package - I'm paying you over the odds already.

Did you call the Business Support Number? 0800 028 0282 or 0300 123 6123
You tend to get a faster reaction on that. I also had someone from Plusnet call me and set me up on the lower rate - it worth you asking to be migrated to the new rate.
Now Zen, but a +Net residue.
